litecoin is doomed to fail, now the new litecoin is dashcoin, look how strong is the marketcap is very high and the value is near 0.04 for 1 dash, this is better than etheruem ever was, dash also offer far better features than litecoin

i think because those coins still cannot beat bitcoin that's why most people still stick at bitcoin but probably investing small amount for ETH or Monero still good but for Zcash honestly i have no idea what would happens to this coin and quite doubt there will be huge pump happened again

@mining1 sees it from a different perspective than mine. He sees hype coming and a lot of fanboys who will wet their pants. He is probably correct, but I don't care.

Ethereum's "hype" is working hand in hand with development, partnerships, projects, and the fact it is for a while now the leading project in the blockchain / cryptocurrency scene. It is not the same type of hype that bitcoin and all other projects are experiencing and you know it. It is based in facts, tangible projects and real people from real companies investing and building on this technology. And you know it, wether you like it or not.Now, there's a chance they won't achieve everything ( developers, community, etc ) they aim for, but that wouldn't come as a big surprise, since they're doing something that wasn't done before. Bottom line is, ethereum project and everything it involves dapps/contracts/projects/partnerships/development community and a whole huge fucking ecosystem, is moving forward at a very fast pace. And you want it to die because you cannot rival it, and you know it.

Bitcoin will remain the best choice of investment because other crypto devs have no plans of going mainstream or simply don't understand what they are doing . But this shouldn't stop you from investing in other coins which show potential of future growth and a possibility of profiting from them as an investor. When an opportunity presents itself ,you take it. Most of us missed it with bitcoins can't miss the next alt to boom.

Bitcoin still the best for me as we could observed its continuos rising its price. This means bitcoin is growing daily, and being in demand. Its still the best even from other altcoins that no one could replace bitcoin from...

I see nothing worth in Bitcoin except speculation. Tx fees are high and constantly growing. BTC is slow and not anonymous. Only speculating and hype drives the price up. Remember my words you'll see it dropping with strength this year. As for long time I have some confidence with Monero though it is not an advice to invest.

Neither of us can know for sure, but IMO speculators and thus the community of developments the speculators are incentivizing are in a FOMO delusion which will die:

Regarding ICOs, one of the aims of my project that is different from Ethereum is that via the distribution model, I intend (i.e. hope to) provide a way for the derivative "smart contract" (or apps) projects to monetize their business model without creating a useless token and ICO lie. I am attempting to change the entire paradigm to not only a legal but also a viable one. @Skalpell although you make reasonable arguments in some respects, you seem to have a blindspot on the fact that these ICO tokens are completely unrealistic in that the world won't be using 100s of colored coins with a separate coin for each "smart contract" or app. The world will rally around one or at most a few leading units-of-exchange and units-of-account. The ICO model is not viable long-term. It is a FOMO delusion that works for now because speculators haven't yet learned that 100s of tokens isn't going to work.

It still is and will always be,bitcoin should be your main portfolio and if you are going to include other coin,it should be something that will give a return of your investment,like a profit or products or services,just like the victoriouscoin are doing

@iamnotback but you do realise that, compared to all other projects out there ( except bitcoin since it was first ) ethereum is really undervalued, that if you take under consideration the whole ecosystem it has build around it. I mean, if clones like dash can have 1/4 of ethereum's cap it's really sad. Also, leaving aside everything that makes ethereum what it is today, it also brought blockchain developing as a job into the mainstream. And to take this even further, probably half of the blockchain developers are directly or indirectly working on some variant of ethereum. You for example.

Well for me bitcoin would always be the best,Maybe because I don't even want to hold other crypto thats why I don't want to get some of the other coin.

Bitcoin performance is the best at the moment, I just checked the bitcoin price for the pas 30 days and it's amazing how well the price has been increased.

I hold few other assets like Iconomi and Incent but saying the truth I missed the "gold" days to sell iconomi at a food exchange rate in bitcoin and stay good, not like in stress when to sell or hold for undefined time.

I agree unless someone demonstrates that both Dash and Ethereum are not truly viable for adoption and another way is. Then you can see both of them implode, if they can't adopt that other paradigm quickly enough.

That is a lot of "ifs". For the near-term, I agree with you that the likely outcome is more interest piled into these (what I think are "mine the speculator") paradigms.

I was thinking about buying other coins to profit and make more BTC too as BTC grows, but I don't see a clear pick to risk my bitcoins at...

Maybe I should have bought ETH and DASH but what did I knew? Even this ZCASH crap pumped to like 30%, but how can you even foresee that?

I guess ETH is a good pick because ETH keeps getting shilled by microsoft and all those big companies but ultimately that means nothing...

I don't know what to do. I want more BTC, but I see no clear investments... fuuuck (

Well everything depend on your strategy investments and depend on your analysis into digital coins, which are the coins will be choosen? However investing into bitcoin, ETH, dash coin or other coins are high risk except getting profit it can make losing money too, so make sure losing money in digital coins has been calculated before make investments into them.

Let me enlighten you. Buy ETH now, before metro is released, and if you're a trader then just sell it after. You'll easily make 5$ profit per ether. However, if you go for 1year+, you can easily double what you have. Because constant development, and then it'll be close to serenity and it's huge hype.

It seems both the ETH and ZEC has reached bottom.

What do you mean by 'reached the bottom'? Is it that they're now in the worst condition and will cost a lot more? Or are they dead now? I don't know about ZEC but ETH looks promising to me. And look at the price. It is growing every day for about 8%! I bought 1 eth for $17 a couple of days ago and it is already worth $20. Everything looks nice and stable with eth to me. And when it reaches about $100 I'll sell some amount to get my $17 back and thus see the pure profit growing.

there is always a risk if you want to earn profit, whether it is from trading or investing in alt coin, eth and dash may seems the best choice for now, because both of them showing a promises rising, but alt coin is very hard to predict, saving bitcoin is the best way to invest for now, but if like to play with risk then go for ETH and Dash
